A great museum hidden next to the National Assembly. The exhibition rooms are very well structured, each exhibition has its own booklet with an explanation for each work. There are always two temporary exhibitions for a very affordable price (10 euros full price) and not crowded at all. The staff is very kind. I will definitely come back for the next exhibitions

A rare museum that you visit by reservation, except for temporary exhibitions. The mansion contains the immense collection of drawings of the founders and successive directors. The rooms are rich with treasures

Fondation destinée à faire connaitre les collections rassemblées par son créateur Monsieur Lugt et son épouse. Actuellement exposition d'une magnifique collection d'estampes japonaises modernes de 1900 à 1960. Précision du trait, couleurs et sujets font de ces oeuvres un évènement à ne pas rater.

À deux pas de l'Assemblée nationale, cette discrète fondation privée mérite plus d'une visite. Dans les salles du 1er étage et du sous-sol, aux murs blancs immaculés, La Fondation Custodia présente toujours deux expositions, distinctes ou complémentaires. Cette institution possède un très important fonds de gravures, estampes et œuvres sur papier remarquable, dans lequel elle puise souvent pour bâtir ses expositions. Le lieu est calme, épuré, il incite à la contemplation des œuvres en prenant tout son temps. Au rez-de-chaussée, une librairie présente une sélection de livres et de reproductions d'œuvres relative aux expositions présentes et passées. Le personnel est très accueillant, courtois, aimable. Un lieu civilisé à fréquenter régulièrement.

Beautiful building with a very interesting and beautiful collection of drawings and paintings.

Very nice place. Exhibition on Jacobus Vrel very good scenography the paintings are well highlighted and the booklet at reception is very useful. I saw the 2nd exhibition on the designer Rein Dool, I really liked it. Place to know.

Hidden gem of a museum alongside the French Nationale Assembly building. A very fine collection of Old Master drawings and prints, and always high-quality touring exhibitions along the same lines.

This rather hidden museum/art foundation hosts many beautiful exhibitions in a gorgeous building. Today I went to see three exhibitions, notably one of Italian drawings and another of Siemen Dijkstra’s impressive woodblock prints & watercolors. As a fine arts student I also had free access—what a beautiful place!

Interior Decorative Arts, curated by the Rijksmuseum, from 25 February to 14 May 2023. The exhibition hall provides a free guide book, which introduces more than one hundred exhibits in detail, including design manuscripts for silver plates, porcelain, candlesticks, jewelry boxes, wall clocks, picture frames, walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, dressing tables, etc. Some drawings are clear It fully demonstrates the changes from Baroque style to Rococo style and the combination of the two, making people marvel at the ingenuity of architects and painters and the superb skills of craftsmen at that time.

Closed when hours on their website said they would be open.

Méconnu injustement du grand public, cette fondation indépendante néerlandaise propose de belles expositions. Une librairie proposant un large choix de revues et de beaux livres d'art et de photographie. Jusqu'au 17 déc 2017: CARTIER BRESSON. Voir ses photos dans le calme est un bonheur rare.

(Translated by Google) Superb exhibition on the motif in a very beautiful place. Small catalog offered sufficiently luxurious for everyone to ask if it was free or paid (free and more). In short, excellent time and welcome. Nice discovery. (Original) Superbe exposition sur le motif dans un très beau lieu. Petit catalogue offert suffisamment luxueux pour que tout le monde demande s'il était gratuit ou payant (gratuit en plus). Bref excellent moment et accueil. Belle découverte.

#ExpositionArt A little-known and timeless place which offers a cultural program off the beaten track to discover. The former Dutch Cultural Center has successfully transformed itself. See you soon.

I never miss an exhibition in this place. Exhibitions that always fascinate me and introduce us to artists little known to the general public.

JACOBUS VREL EXHIBITION AT THE CUSTODIA FOUNDATION (PARIS) A dive into the Dutch 17th century This contemporary artist of Vermeer is presented as his precursor. And the public goes to this mansion on the very chic rue de Lille to find Vermeer there. This is where the trap lies! The comparison does not hold because Vermeer's genius is insurmountable and mysterious and especially because we discover that many other artists painted according to the same references of colors, settings and subjects. It is also one of the interests of this modest (in terms of volume) exhibition to present these other, or almost unknown, artists (Boursse, Gerard ter Borch). Vrel is one of them. Vrel was “discovered” by a Dutch art historian in 1893. Research began then and to date has not revealed much. This master remains mysterious until his dates of birth and death. Its very name is an enigma appearing nowhere. We cannot identify the places or the cities that he paints (even if experts would have recognized the city of Zwolle in 2021). It adds to the charm! His activity can be verified from the years 1654 to 1662. 45 paintings are attributed to him, 23 of which are presented in Paris. There we find scenes of life, of the street, of professions, of children playing, of brick facades, of women in their modest interiors busy making pancakes, spinning, chatting among themselves, etc. And, above all this, floats a great melancholic poetry drowned in dark but never disturbing atmospheres. Cats are often present, as are children. A faithful transcription of 17th-century Dutch street life and decor, but marked by the era and its tastes. The exhibition is not essential due to its brevity and relative originality, but it will suit lovers of this intimate 17th century Dutch work, interested in supplementing their knowledge.
